LIQUID-FUEL STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 18, 19ft.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEE S. CHADwIoK, a citizen of the United States, residing at East Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Liquid-Fuel Stoves, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to liquid fuel stoves of the variety wherein the liquid fuel is reserved in a dispensing receptacle that is invertible above a distributing receptacle from which the fuel is conducted through a suitable supply conduit or pipe to the burners of the stove, the discharge end or mouth of the dispensing receptacle projecting into the distributing receptacle to cause the accumulated liquld in the latter to constitute a seal for the mouth of the former and prevent further dispensation until the supply has been reduced to lower the liquid level of the distributing receptacle below the mouth of the dispensing receptacle, when further liquid will flow into the distributingreceptacle to restore the sealing conditions above explained.

More. particularly, this invention has to do with a novel construction of liquid fuel dispensing apparatus for incorporation in stoves of the aforesaid character.

The object of the invention is to rovide a strong and durable construction or apparatus of the foregoing nature in which the carrier or holder for the dispensing receptacle is supported entirely independently of the distributing receptacle and directly from the frame of the stove, whereby no undue strains are imposed upon the distributing re-' ceptacle to distort it or impair its fluid tight connection with the supply pipe.

In the accompanying drawing 1 have shown one embodiment of my invention wherein the foregoing object is realized, and while I will proceed to describe this particular embodiment in detail, I wish to be understood as not limiting myself to the structural details thereof further than is required by the terms of the annexed claims and is rendered necessary by the state of the prior-art.

In the drawing, Figure 1 is a front elevation of a liquid fuel stove embodying my invention; Figs. 2 and 3 are sectional views,

the planes of which are represented by the line 33 of Fig. 1; Fig. 2 showing the carr1er of the dispensing receptacle swung downward with the dispensing receptacle resting therein in upright position, and Fig. 8 illustrating the parts in operative condition with the dispensing receptacle inverted above the distributing receptacle; While Fig. 4 is a horizontal section through the end panel of the stove, and showing the liquid dispensing apparatus in plan.

Following the general construction of stoves of the class wherewith my invention is designed for use, the same may comprise a base 1 that is supported a suitable distance above the floor, by legs 2 and from the ends of which rise end panels 3 and 4, that support the stove top 5. A fuel supply pipe 6 extends longitudinally through the stove and may be supported in any convenient manner from the base or end panels thereof; and the supply pipe has communicatively connected, to it, according to any approved method, hydrocarbon burners 7. The supply pipe 6 extends through-the end panel 4 and is turned upward for connection with the liquid fuel distributing receptacle 10.

The base plate 12 of a strong substantial bracket is secured to the end panel 4, and the arm 13 of the bracket extends at right angles from the end panel of the stove and has what will be termed a cylindrical boss 14 formed along its upper edge, said boss being interrupted, adjacent the outer end of the bracket, by a recess 15. A pintle 16 extends through the outer portion of the boss 14 and across the recess 15 and has its end secured within the inner portion of the aforesaid boss.

The carrier for the dispensing receptacle comprises a side wall 18 and amend wall 19. This end wall is composed of a shallow cap to one side of which is attached the free end of the wall 18. A strap 20 extends partially around and is secured to the inner end of the wall 18, and said strap has its ends turned outward and perforated for application to the pintle 16, thus hingedly connecting the carrier to the bracket. The dispensing receptacle. 22 preferably consists of a. glass receptacle or bottle having a binder 23 surrounding the end of its body portion adjacent its neck, thus formin a shoulder which is adapted to rest wit in when the carrier is in the position shown in Fig. 2, the shoulder formed by the binder 23 is in a-position to automatically drop into the overturned or hooked portion 24 of the carrier, when the latter is inverted totheposition shown in Fig. 3. Followin the usual construction of apparatus of this sort, the mouth of the dispensing receptacle is pro vided with a valve 25 that is maintained in closedposition by a spring and that is opened by the engagement of its stem 26 with the bottom of the distributin receptacle, when the dispensing rece tac e is inverted thereover. It will be 0 served that the side of the distributing receptacle adjacent the bracket arm 13 is extended into the recess 15 of the bracket and beneath the hinge of the carrier. This extension constitutes a drain sink that will catch and conduct any liquid to the distributing receptacle that may have dripped from the dispensing receptacle into its carrier while in the position shown in Fig. 2, or during its movement to inverted osition.

The carrier is he d in upright position to sustain the dispensing receptacle in proper operative relatlon to the distributing receptacle by the engagement of an extension 30 that projects from the side of the carrier adjacent the end ofthe stove, with a similar abutment 31 that is secured to the end panel 4.

A si ht opening 33 is formed in the wall 18 of t e carrier, so that the li uid level in the dispensing receptacle may e observed from the front of thestove, when the parts occupy operative position.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim 1s:-

; 1. In a stove of the character set forth, the combination of a burner, a distributing receptacle communicatively connected to the burner, a supporting element attached to theframe of the stove, a dispensing receptacle hingedly connected to said supporting element and movable to and from a position above the distributing receptacle, and a stop for arresting the movement of the dispensing receptacle and for maintaining it out of engagement with and'in operative relation to the distributing receptacle.

2.-In a stove of the character set forth, the combination of a burner, a distributing receptacle communicatively connected to the burner, a supporting element secured to the stove frame adjacent said receptacle, a carrier hinged to said element so as to swing from a position at one side of the distributing receptacle to a position thereabove, a dispensing receptacle adapted to. be supported by the carrier in operative relation to the distributing receptacle, and a stop for arresting the'swinging movement of the carrier and for retaining it in a position to support the dispensing receptacle in such operative position and out of engagement with the distributing receptacle.

3. In a stove of the character set forth, the combination of a burner, a distributing receptacle communicatively connected to the burner, a supporting element secured to the frame of the stove adjacent the distributing receptacle, a carrier hinged on a substantially horizontal axis to said element and capable of swinging from a position alongside said element to an inverted position above the distributing receptacle, a dispensing receptacle supported by the carrier, and means for sustaining the carrier in a position to support the dispensing receptacle free of andin operative relation to the distributing receptacle.
